Projects and the Norwegian contemporary music organisation
Ny Musikk
(new home to The Wire's recently departed, but still
contributing Anne Hilde Neset) are starting a series of events at
Cafe Oto to bring Norwegian acts to play and collaborate in
London.

The series so far includes the first UK performance
collaboration between Supersilent founder Helge Sten and Led
Zeppelin's John Paul Jones in their guise as Minibus Pimps, plus
Steve Noble and Sebastian Lexer (13 July). Also lined up to play in
the series are Stian Westerhus (14 October), Jazkamer collaborating
with Greg Pope (8 November), Jenny Hval & Håvard Volden's
project Nude On Sand (date tba), with more to be announced in the
coming months.

A Primer on the maverick composer Moondog, Daniel Spicer on Brighton's outsider poets and musicians, Lightning Bolt take The Wire's Invisible Jukebox test, Isnaj Dui, Radiophrenia, Jlin and much more. Plus: our latest 20 track CD, free to all readers with The Wire.
